I don’t eat burgers often anymore, but when I get that irresistible craving (as I did at lunch today), I always cut them in half, whether I’m dining out or at home. I’ve done it since I was a teen.

I almost never see others do that and I’ve always wondered why. It makes eating them, especially the big sloppy ones, so much easier and cleaner.

What am I missing? Is cutting a burger considered wimpy or in some other way undesirable?

Enlighten me, fellow carnivores.
